Engagement!

Rudy and I are engaged! I decided that I should start writing everything down as I am already forgetting the individual days as this whole week has sort of mixed and blended together.

On last last Saturday at the start of Spring break Rudy and I went to a few jewelry stores and we were looking for a setting or a store to re-size an heirloom ring. We went to London Gold and to Jared and even though both places had very nice things, I fell in love with a setting at Jared. Later that week we decided to go back to Jared with his mom to look at stones. I was going to be completely happy with a small colorless diamond, but his mom kept asking to see what slightly larger diamonds looked like and they each looked more lovely than the next. I finally, was able to choose one, even though this was one of the most difficult decisions of my life! Once it was all decided they said that they would have the ring ready for pickup the next day! I was so excited and anxious and I thought that Rudy would wait to propose for a while. But his mom told him that he should not make me wait and should give it to me before he went back to school.

Friday night, we decided to get up early Saturday morning to go on a bike ride and to have a nice breakfast while the weather was super nice. But, that morning when he came in to the guestroom to wake me up, he turned on the light, said my name, and bent down on one knee. He asked me if I would marry him, and in my still mostly asleep state, I rubbed my eyes and quietly said "Yes! Of Course!"

So now he is my Fiancé! I love saying that! The Wedding is going to be a long ways off, I need to finish school and find a teaching job and He needs to finish school so I am thinking that it will be at least two and half years from now. Because of the school schedule it will have to be either spring break, summer or winter, and I am leaning towards sometime in December. Yay!
